As part of remodeling my basement, I've added about 100 ft of type M 3/4" copper to expand my hydronic heating systems to a couple of rooms.
A hydronic heating system is water based, closed loop, with a central boiler. A small pump circulates the water to various "zones" of the house. The output is either a baseboard heater (water based) or in floor heating.
I'm at the point where I'm ready to attach the new section of the heating system to the basement zone, which is a matter of draining the system, cutting the basement zone pipe, and splicing the new section into it.
All of this is fine. The problem I'm running into is how to refill the system to remove all air from the system. I can sort of deduce how it needs to be done, and I sort of have a half-ass plan, but this is a pretty old system (30 years) and I don't want to screw up [grin].
So: Any Hydronic Heating System Experts Here?
